Two months had passed since the assassination at the engagement ceremony, and Xiao Fujiu was finally discharged from the hospital amidst the sounds of blessings that seemed real and fake.

When he returned to the main house of the Tang family, the first thing he did was order someone to call Wang Xuan over.

When Wang Xuan pushed open the door of the large conference room in the main house of the family, he still had lingering fears about the scene that happened here a few months ago.

Xiao Fujiu was still sitting at the head of the long table in the meeting room, and when he heard the door opening, he turned the leather chair under him, his eyes were dull, and his face showed no emotion: "Hall Master Wang, please sit down."

Wang Xuan hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything, chose a seat a few empty chairs away from Xiao Fujiu, and sat down.

"The Tang family has been really unlucky recently. The head of the family and I entered the hospital one after the other, and there was no one to take charge of the family. In addition to the matter of the sixth elder, the head of the Lord Lao has taken a lot of trouble. I was much haggard before." Xiao Fujiu said a few words of concern in a neutral manner, his expression was a little softer than before.

Even though Xiao Fujiu, who was sitting across from him, had a gentle smile on his face, Wang Xuan still clearly remembered how the other party easily captured his father with a few words in this room more than two months ago.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan became more afraid to be presumptuous, and only bowed his head respectfully to comfort Xiao Fujiu: "It is my duty to do things for the Tang family, and I dare not say 'troubleshoot'."

"If Hall Master Wang really thinks so, that would be great, but..."

As soon as Xiao Fujiu's voice paused, Wang Xuan's heart tightened, and he secretly said "here we come", tensing his spine and waiting for the main event after the turning point.

Before Xiao Fujiu could speak, he could already see the undisguised nervousness and the imminent adversary of the man in front of him, he smiled inwardly, and softened his originally prepared tone, "It's just that I'm worried, Does Hall Master Wang have any grudges about what happened to the Sixth Elder before? ——You won’t blame me for being ruthless?”

"..." Mentioning his father, Wang Xuan's mouth was bitter, and his face also showed some unbearable, "Assistant Xiao's actions are all based on the clan, it is the father who made the mistake of trespassing the wall, and should be punished. Although Wang Xuan is not a person who understands righteousness, he can still distinguish between right and wrong, and will never make any mistakes that will harm the Tang family because of this kind of thing."

"Hall Master Wang can think so, I'm really gratified." Xiao Fujiu took the words with a smile. He didn't necessarily believe in this statement in his heart, but he also knew that this person was upright. To "make mistakes" means not to make mistakes.

"I didn't hide that incident from Hallmaster Wang, and it was indeed because I suddenly got the news from the First Elder before the meeting, and I was so angry that I had an outburst in public. Looking back on it many times afterwards, I feel that it was really inappropriate."

"... Great Elder?" Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head.

It is well known in our family that the first part is inseparable from the sixth part.It was not once or twice that Wang Xuan saw Qian Chuwen talking and laughing with his father at his home.Regarding the matter of his father being pulled from the horse, he always thought that Sun Wei'an was in charge of it. After all, before the incident happened, he had heard some rumors that his father and the elders wanted to settle some "old things" with Sun Wei'an.

Therefore, he never thought that there would be a great elder in the secret of this matter.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly thought of something—Assistant Xiao is the Grand Elder's prospective grandson-in-law. Although the engagement ceremony could not be successfully completed due to an accident, due to emotion and reason, he shouldn't have done anything different with the First Elder. Things that go against your will are right.But that day in the conference room, he could tell that this person had no signs of defending his close friends for the elder.

Could it be... Wang Xuan had a guess in his heart that he couldn't even believe it—could it be that the matter of pulling his father off the horse was ordered by the Great Elder?

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Fujiu with complicated eyes.

Xiao Fujiu was looking at him with a shallow smile, his appearance was gentle and harmless, but his eyes were so clear and clean that Wang Xuan felt as if he had been stripped of all cover and concealment, exposed nakedly and without any secrets to that person. look down.

But it seems that these are just his own malicious speculations.

"I'm a newcomer in the Tang family, and I don't have all the connections. Without the help of the great elder, I would not be able to investigate the murder of the 120 nine people. After all, the nine departments have been at odds for a long time. Hallmaster Wang probably knows this better than I do—as for whether the Great Elder has known these things for a long time, or just learned about them like me, I dare not make judgments. After all, the Great Elder is Rui’er’s grandfather, and I As Rui'er's fiancé, there are many things that are inconvenient to talk about." Xiao Fu changed the subject after nine o'clock, "As for what the Sixth Elder has done, I know that in Hall Master Wang's heart, it may be an unresolved knot."

Wang Xuan was shocked when he heard the words, and looked at Xiao Fujiu unexpectedly.

Xiao Fujiu knew what he was thinking, and comforted him: "I know, since the Sixth Elder's matter was revealed, there are doubts about Hallmaster Wang from inside and outside the Sixth Division, most people are probably staring at you seriously, if you have With the slightest sympathy, I will sue a 'father and son accomplice' to the Patriarch. I know that Hall Master Wang is probably more disbelieving and distressed by the actions of the Sixth Elder than these people."

Wang Xuan's eyes trembled for a moment, and after this moment, he smiled wryly and shook his head: "I didn't expect that the people I once regarded as my best friends would not believe me without knowing it, but Assistant Xiao, who I rarely met, would you believe me?" .”

"I don't believe in you, I just believe in my eyes." Xiao Fujiu smiled, "I've always been very accurate at seeing people. When I saw Hall Master Wang for the first time in the sixth part, my eyes told me that this is a rare one. The upright and loyal people I have seen—the Tang family has someone like you as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, it is its blessing and luck."

Wang Xuan nodded: "That's why Assistant Xiao asked me to wait outside the conference room that day. You are sure that I will not do anything against my conscience."

When Wang Xuan said this, he didn't shy away from it. He raised his head and looked directly into Xiao Fujiu's eyes, wanting to see if there were any hidden negative thoughts in them.

Xiao Fujiu didn't care at all, and looked back with the same clear eyes: "Yes, I also want to see if I was wrong this time. Facts have proved that I was right."

"So, even though many people from my family and the Nine Departments later came to me and told me that the father-son ethics would deceive Hallmaster Wang, I still haven't changed my decision to let you be in charge of the investigation—I believe Hallmaster Wang will never change your mind." Not someone who would allow personal feelings to disrupt the order of law enforcement."

"I have to thank Assistant Xiao for his trust." Wang Xuan shook his head, what he said was half true and half false.

He is grateful that this person is the only one around who believes in him, but he really rejects the decision to investigate this matter by himself - after all, because of his impartial law enforcement, his mother has not said a word to him for several months That's it.

Everyone inside and outside the six departments, for the "selflessness" he has shown, also accuses him of being cruel and ruthless, and most of the judgments are that he does not hesitate to drive his father to death in order to keep his position.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I have not failed your trust. After these days of investigation and evidence collection, I have checked all the 120 nine cases you put on my desk. It's over, my father...is involved." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last few words, "My father's crime is unforgivable by the family law. I will report the case to the head of the house in a few days ... choose a day to deal with it according to family law."

Seeing the man in front of him who was about to cry but still had to grit his teeth to resist, Xiao Fujiu's cold stone-like temptation finally fluctuated a little, he weighed it in his heart silently, and then said: "Sixth Elder I will discuss with the Patriarch about the matter, and the 120 nine cases are clearly the responsibility of your six departments. Besides, the merits of the Six Elders assisting the two Patriarchs cannot be erased. I will intercede with the Patriarch. Elder Bao Liu spent his old age peacefully alone in the outer district—but it can only go so far.”

"..."

Wang Xuan looked up in disbelief, he almost suspected that he was too unbearable and had auditory hallucinations - his father's crimes were horrific, he didn't dare to have any illusions, knowing that the eight elders would be unforgivable to plead for mercy.

Until he saw the determination on Xiao Fujiu's face without any jokes, like a person who was about to fall off a cliff being pulled back to the real place by his arms.

His body froze there for a long while, his lips trembled without knowing it.

After a long while, he got up suddenly, and Xiao Fujiu, who was prepared in his heart, was stunned for a moment by the violent action, and then he bent his knees.

Kneel down with a bang.

Xiao Fujiu was dumbfounded.

Even though he has always been good at figuring out people's hearts, he still can't fully estimate it accurately.For example, at this moment, he never expected that Wang Xuan would have such a big reaction because of his words.

It's a pity that Wang Xuan himself was still in the state of indescribable emotion, and he didn't notice Xiao Fujiu's rare gaffe. He knelt on the ground, his upper body straightened, his eyes were red, and his expression was serious: "Assistant Xiao's kindness, I thank you. Six Parts, My Wang Family, My Wang Xuan—I will never forget it!"

The trembling but sonorous voice finally brought Xiao Fujiu back to his senses, he hurriedly pulled Wang Xuan up from the ground with a rare serious expression on his face, "Master Wang, don't let this kind of thing happen again .As the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, you represent the backbone of my Tang family's Law Enforcement Hall, and you should not and cannot bend!"

Wang Xuan moved his lips, but finally nodded without saying anything.

Looking at the resolute facial features of this man in front of him, Xiao Fujiu's heart moved, and suddenly he came up with an idea - the position of the six elders was also very important to Cruise, and he was going to try his best to push them to be placed in the Wang family's position; Huo Jiu deliberately arranged for Wang Qian to fight Wang Xuan and his son, and also took the opportunity to suppress Wang Xuan's support among his father's loyalists.

Just now, he suddenly remembered what Joe said before he left.

Inside and outside the Tang family, there had to be something that was firmly in his hands.

For Wang Xuan at this time, it really couldn't be more suitable for him.

"Hall Master Wang," Xiao Fujiu smiled suddenly, "In a few days, the six elders will be re-determined, and I will recommend you to the Patriarch."

Wang Xuan was stunned: "But in the sixth department..."

"Your uprightness, the Patriarch and I both see it. This time is also a test for you. At that time, I will invite the other eight elders to do a side trial. It will be clear what is right and what is wrong." Xiao Fujiu smiled indifferently, but he had the strength to comfort people's hearts, "More importantly, after this matter, if you don't use it, the Tang family will suffer a lot. Six departments are in charge of criminal investigation, and Wang Tang is not allowed to Lord, you are coming to succeed me, and I really can't rest assured."

"Assistant Xiao..."

"You don't need to say too much, as I said before, it is the Tang family's blessing and luck to have a law-enforcing hall master like you." Xiao Fujiu waved his hand, stopping Wang Xuan's words that could be guessed from his face. Yu Yin, "Go back and wait for me to send you a letter."

Swallowing those thousands of thanks, Wang Xuan nodded solemnly, turned and walked out.

When the sound of that person's footsteps disappeared outside, the smile on Xiao Fujiu's face also disappeared.

His eyes fell on the circle of seats in this meeting room, and his eyes slowly turned around, as if they had penetrated time and fell on the people who used to sit here.

After a while, he laughed suddenly, and after the laughter, he opened his mouth to those empty seats, his voice was extremely soft, but it made people feel chills from the bottom of his heart——

"The Tang family not only has such an upright and upright head of the Law Enforcement Hall, but is even more selfless and loyal than this one. It's a pity...you ruined the Tang family's fortune and luck with your own hands."

He pressed his hand on the armrest of the leather chair, until the veins swelled, and his fingertips were so pale that there was no trace of blood.

When all emotions were calm, he stood up and walked out.

After leaving the conference room, he went all the way out along the long corridor, and then walked down the spiral staircase, but before he got down to the end, a delicate female voice came from the main hall below the stairs.

Xiao Fujiu paused, and turned his eyes sideways——

On the sofa in the main hall, Tang Yiheng sat on the side with a blank expression.

On the other side sat a flattering old man with a face that couldn't be concealed properly, and a girl who hung her head shyly.

The corner of Xiao Fujiu's mouth turned into a smile: This is a pimp who brought him to the house.

The author has something to say: PS: As mentioned earlier, Xiao Chen’s father was the last head of the Law Enforcement Hall
